Daylily Onepatch by Ann Maley
Ann’s quilt is 66.5″ by 51″. The main colors are yellow, orange, red, and green. It is machine pieced, hand appliqued, machine quilted, and it has beading at the center of some of the flowers. Except for the borders, every piece is a curved, half-petal/leaf shape. This became Ann’s logo and she used it on her stationary and business cards. This quilt has a label sewn to the lower right corner on the back. It has Ann’s name, the name of the quilt, and probably something about it being an original tessellation.

My First Quilt, detail
During July 2002, Janei Brockhausen’s house in Zondereinde, (Setaria) South Africa was broken into. Among the stolen items was her quilt, Seasons of a Woman’s Life. Another homemade quilt and a lot of winter clothing were stolen at the same time.
Seasons of a Woman’s Life is an original design featuring four seasonal blocks. One has a basket with applique flowers. One has a boat with sunflowers on a sea. One has a winter snowflake. The last one has autumn leaves falling across and down the block. The quilt has a 4-inch border that says, “Seasons of a Woman’s Life” in trapunto. Other blocks show times of a woman’s life from being a little girl with a dog, a dance with her first beau, her marriage, her first born in her arms, and all the way to the end as a grandmother in a rocking chair with a quilt over her lap.
The quilt is 65″ by 70″. The main colors are red, white and muslin. It is hand pieced, hand appliqued and hand quilted. She made it during 2000 and 2001. It does not have a label. The Brockhausen’s filed an insurance claim, but their company refused to compensate them for any of it, including their luggage.
